Help as needed! There are no monthly minimums. Simply book whenever you're ready about 4-5 days in advance to get the best selection of days and times. In addition on-demand visits, you can also setup recurring visits every 1, 2, or 4 weeks if that better suits your needs.

We suggest scheduling at least 4-5 days in advance for the best selection of days and times. Depending on helper availability, you can book anywhere from tomorrow, up to a month in advance.

Yes, we ask that members provide all the tools and supplies for the tasks you want completed. This ensures that your helper can focus on completing your tasks efficiently, using the tools you're comfortable with and that are best suited for the job. For most tasks, this might look like having a rake, vacuum, or ladder ready to go!

If a visit ends early or runs longer than expected, your helper can round the time up to the nearest 15-minute mark. This ensures you only pay for the time used while maintaining flexibility. Just remember to ask!

Yes, we offer need-based rates for those on limited or fixed income under a certain threshold. Please reach out to us to arrange a custom plan with a team member.

There are no travel or mileage fees. You only pay for the time your helper spends at your house. Helpers set their own service areas to the neighborhoods near where they live, so you're always getting local help.

It's always the same flat hourly rate for all tasks. Members usually have a whole list of tasks ready for their helpers when they arrive. You can always count on predictable pricing without the need to wait for a quote.

We understand that life can be unpredictable. For last minute cancellations and missed visits, we do charge a $20 fee per cancelled hour that goes to your helper for their inconvenience and loss of opportunity. You can always cancel online to an hour before.
